The blood-red True Energy Giant Palm instantly reached above Yao Yue’s head. Without a word, Xu Fu mustered all the energy in his body and sprinted off to escape.
Yao Yue looked at him with a mocking smile. She gathered all the energy her body could muster, and her Holy Snow Sword immediately exploded, using Yao Yue as a center point and shooting out blade after blade of frost sword spirit. The blades pierced through the air in an unpredictable fas.h.i.+on, colliding with the Giant Palm.
An uncountable number of the Frost Sword Spirits clashed with the Giant Palm, but only halted it temporarily. Yao Yue’s face turned pale as she coughed out blood and was sent flying backwards, landing heavily onto the ground.
The witnessing brothers’ hearts could not help but sink upon witnessing what had just happened.
Facing a warrior in the True Energy Realm, an Energy Shaping Realm fighter was insignificant. No matter how strong Yao Yue’s Holy Snow Sword was, she was ultimately facing a True Energy Realm fighter.
“The Holy Snow Sword may be strong, but you are merely in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm. Even if you barely reach the True Energy Realm, you are no match for me even with the Holy Snow Sword.”
A single move was enough for the Skylight Lord to realize that Yao Yue’s true strength had yet to reach the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm.
Kacha-kacha!
Suddenly, an armored spirit slowly walked towards Yao Yue. “Skylight Lord Master, this woman is extremely powerful. Allow me to execute her right away!”
“She is heavily injured and can no longer fight back. Kill her now, and bring me the Holy Snow Sword.”
“Yes, Master!” The armored spirit replied emphatically, turning around, head lowered, the long sword in his hand flas.h.i.+ng with waves of energy and giving off a murderous aura.
“Xu Fu, hurry and save Sister Yao Yue!” screamed one of the elite league members at the top of his lungs.
Xu Fu took several steps back, his legs wobbling, and said, “You must be joking! That up there is an actual True Energy Realm fighter. If I make a move, I’m going to be dead for sure!”
“Pei!”
One of the sisters was extremely unimpressed and said angrily, “This useless man can’t be relied on for a second when it matters. And you still dare claim that you will risk your life to protect Sister Yao Yue.”
Yao Yue had never thought about depending on Xu Fu in the first place. She secretly flipped out a seal in her hand. It was a level two ice elemental seal that contained unbelievable power. However, just as she was about to throw out the seal, she saw a familiar face.
Because Ye Mo was clad in a helmet and armor and kept his head down, the Skylight Lord did not detect anything unusual.
Had the Skylight Lord reached the Heaven’s Gate Realm and unleashed his pure energy, the whole of Skylight City would’ve been under his control, and his disguise would have had no chance of fooling anyone.
“Hurry up and escape!” Yao Yue said quietly. While she was surprised to see Ye Mo appearing here, the opponent was a True Energy Realm fighter. He was taking an extremely dangerous risk by disguising as an armored spirit.
“Didn’t you always say that I am too arrogant? How can I miss on the chance to be the hero to save a damsel in distress?”
Ye Mo rushed towards Yao Yue, and to the shock of everyone, scooped her icy, fragile body up in his arms, immediately running in the other direction with explosive speed.
This happened in a split second, with everyone unable to react to the fact that this armored spirit would rescue Yao Yue away.
“d.a.m.n it!”
The Skylight Lord was the first to respond, letting out a furious, long scream before das.h.i.+ng after Ye Mo.
Ye Mo carried Yao Yue, using up all of his body’s reserve of Dragon Power and channeling it to his legs as he ran on the rooftop tiles to escape.
The whole of Skylight City was filled with tall buildings made of a hybrid ceramic material, making them extremely durable. The buildings barely endured a scratch despite Ye Mo stepping on the rooftops and running at rapid speed. If Ye Mo did this in Stone City, a single step would have caused the whole building to collapse.
Yao Yue felt her pet.i.te figure held in Ye Mo’s embrace and started to shake slightly. She had never been held by a man in this manner. She was very sensitive to interactions with the opposite s.e.x.
“Quick, let me down. You can’t escape,” Yao Yue mustered all her strength to tell Ye Mo. Her eyebrows knitted together as she bit her lips gently.
“I do have to let you down, but I’m not going to escape. I am going to fight the Skylight Lord. His spirit essence is of use to me!” Ye Mo attracted the Skylight Lord here, so naturally, he did not want to reveal his ident.i.ty.
As soon as he finished, Ye Mo’s whole body trembled as his whole body shot up. He jumped directly to another build ahead, with the long spear in his hand flas.h.i.+ng, looking towards the True Energy Realm fighter that was charging towards him with a face of fearlessness.
“Brother Ye Mo, you just have to stab the Skylight Lord and I will be able to use the powers of the seal to absorb his spirit essence using the long spear as a medium. He will end up self-destructing,” Ling’er said.
“I just have to stab my opponent?” Ye Mo’s eyebrows drew together, and he frowned. The difference in power between the two of them was so wide that merely stabbing him was going to be a daunting task.
This was definitely a risky attempt. A True Energy Realm fighter could kill a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm with a single strike. It was going to take a miracle for Ye Mo to stab through his opponent.
“You!”
The charging Skylight Lord halted, floating in the air with an astonished look on his face. He almost could not believe that a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter was the one who had rescued Yao Yue from him.
“Some nerve you got there. Are all fighters nowadays like you? Daring to act like a hero in front of a True Energy Realm warrior? Who gave you this kind of confidence?” Skylight Lord’s voice was scathing, filled with deep ruthlessness.
Before he opened his mouth, a blood-red, huge sword already formed in his hand, his whole body giving off a thick, evil aura. Without giving Ye Mo any time to speak, he swung his sword.
A huge blood-red light blade formed into a huge blood-red monster. The monster was extremely ferocious. It opened its huge mouth and let out a murderous howl, a ghostly wolf-like scream of pain that could be heard across the whole of Skylight City.
“This…? Sky Blood Sword Spirit?” Ye Mo’s heart shook as he experienced what was before him. This level of Sky Blood Spear Spirit was completely different. A swing of the weapon was enough to engulf one’s opponent in the aura of the Sky Blood. This was the feeling of fear before imminent death.
Yao Yue, who was half-lying on the ground, also felt chills run down her spine upon witnessing these events unfold. She felt as if she was in h.e.l.l, with howls of demons coming from all directions and surrounding her.
Facing the oncoming blood-red demon, Ye Mo leapt into the air, his body forming into a dragon as he charged towards the demon.
“That guy, why isn’t he affected by my Sky Blood Spear Spirit?”
The Skylight Lord’s face was filled with utter shock upon seeing this. Even normal fighters in the True Energy Realm would be mentally affected by the force of the Sky Blood Spear Spirit. Weaker fighters in the Spirit Cultivating Realm would have lost consciousness immediately after the impact of the Sky Blood Spirit.
But Ye Mo was charging at him completely unaffected!
Ye Mo’s Voyage of the Dragon completely avoided the light blade attack. He stabbed through the blood-red demon and charged at the Skylight Lord in the air.
